The North Lamar Education Foundation (NLEF) is a non-profit organization that works to secure scholarship monies through donors and fund-raising events for North Lamar students wishing to further their education beyond high school. Established in 1998, the foundation was formed by North Lamar administrators, faculty, staff, and community members. Today it strives to inform parents and students of the benefits of obtaining an education at the next level. As a parent, grandparent, property owner or business owner, the on-going involvement and support are vital. Contributions made to the foundation provide an integral link to the quality of education NL students can receive after high school. NLEF scholarship applications are available in the spring through every senior English class. Awarded NLEF scholarships may be applied toward junior colleges, colleges, universities, and vocational or technical schools.
